In an exclusive interview with NBC on Sunday, US President-elect Donald Trump outlined his plans for his upcoming term, addressing pressing issues in the United States and globally.

Trump expressed pessimism regarding the fate of the hostages held in Gaza. "I'm not a big believer in the fact that there are too many of them living, sadly," Trump said.

He recounted a shocking case of a young woman violently abducted: "She was was pulled by her hair violently and thrown into the back of a car like she was a sack of potatoes." He added, "I hate to say it, I think you have far fewer hostages than people think."

Regarding the war in Gaza, Trump made it clear to NBC that while he hopes for an end to the conflict, Israel must secure a victory. "I want [Netanyahu] to end it, but you have to have a victory," Trump stated

He addressed the growing criticism of Israel and the dismissal of the October 7 attacks, comparing it to Holocaust denial: "You know, you have Holocaust deniers. Now you have October 7th deniers, and it just happened. No, October 7th happened. What happened is horrible."

Trump elaborated on the rebellion against Assad's regime and Syria's collapse: "It's amazing, because he stayed for years under you would think much more adverse conditions, and all of the sudden, just rebels are going and they're taking over large pieces of territory. People have bet against him for a long time, and so far that hasn't worked. But this seems to be different."

Trump also praised his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, for his role in the Abraham Accords, crediting him with laying the groundwork for broader peace in the Middle East.
